During the match, Manchester City's Jeremy Doku easily bypassed Manchester United's Luke Shaw, leading to a goal for Phil Foden. Erling Haaland later added two more goals, showcasing a poor defensive performance from the United team.
Following the match, former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane expressed his dissatisfaction with the team's performance. He pointed out that some players were not fully committed to the game, singling out Luke Shaw as one of the weaker performers.
Keane questioned Shaw's defensive skills, stating that he has a lot of experience in the Premier League but often fails to position himself correctly. He also suggested that Shaw has been getting away with mistakes for a long time due to his past injuries and lack of fitness.
Keane's comments may be seen as harsh, as Shaw was not the only player who struggled during the match. Manchester United's defense as a whole was weak, and the team's performance is more a result of the team's tactics than individual mistakes.
Since Erik ten Hag took over as manager in November, Manchester United has accumulated the fewest points among Premier League teams with a consistent lineup. This suggests that the team's struggles are more related to the team's overall strategy rather than individual player performance.
